Whilst at New Brighton (see yesterdays post) it also seemed like a good opportunity to try to capture some images of the Irish Sea battering against the coastal defences:
No photographers or cameras were harmed during the making of these images, we just got a little wet……..though not as wet as some of the brave (or should that be foolish) people depicted in these shots…..;0).

After visiting Meols (see yesterdays post) I decided to drive a little further along the coast to New Brighton to continue experimenting with my new 9-stop ND Filter.
I couldn’t decide whether I preferred the colour or mono versions of this image, so I’m sharing both:

I had a couple of hours to spare last Sunday and as the weather was half-decent for once, I thought I would take the opportunity to try some daylight long-exposure shots using my new 9-stop ND Filter. So I headed off to the coast at the North-end of the Wirral peninsula:
How cool to be able to get five second exposures in the middle of a bright sunny Winter’s day…….I think I’m going to enjoy using this filter…:0)
